Whilst Allen has gone on holiday, goalkeeping coach Carl Muggleton is taking a lead role on negotiating exits.

The Derbyshire Times understands that the club have hit a sticking point in their negotiations with record wage earner O’Grady, whose two year deal was reportedly worth £3.5k a week to the striker before relegation.

O’Grady scored just three goals last season from his 24 starts and 17 substitute appearances.
